Chapter 95: Damn, It's a Provocation Tactic

Lin Sui recited the introduction provided by the system, not forgetting to thoughtfully remind them: "You've all seen it; those who feel their homes aren't chaotic enough can buy one to add to the chaos."

"As long as you do, you can buy yourself a fully intelligent Troublemaker Machine."

"You call me a Troublemaker Machine? I'm going to shoot you, pew pew pew~"

Lin Sui felt the back of her head being attacked by a pile of small beads again.

LV22 I Love Slacking Off: "A bit expensive, I hate that I'm not a rich person! But this thing is actually kind of fun!"

The alien's voice rang out above Lin Sui's head again, "Only selling for that much? Too cheap! My personal value is worth 20 billion!"

Lin Sui looked through the Live Streaming Room camera and saw that it had jumped onto the top of her head at some point.

She plucked it off in one go, "Power off!"

Alien: "Ah~ vicious human, I'm dead!"

Its entire body stiffened, instantly turning into the immobile state it was in at the start, looking exactly like a very ugly little figurine.

Lin Sui: "..."

What is the point of selling this kind of thing?

To assist aliens in conquering Earth?

"I heard this thing has other designs, like twin tails, little loli empress, and the like. The functions are all the same; what you get depends entirely on luck."

Lin Sui looked at the one in her hand, "My luck is quite average, I opened a very ordinary one."

The little alien suddenly came back to life, "You say I'm very ordinary? You're even... fine, you're a bit good-looking, I won't hold it against you."

Lin Sui: "Power off!"

Little alien: "Blech~ despicable human, I'm dead again!"

LV40 Heard Names Are Important: "Hahahaha, has the Live Streamer never vetted products before? She looks a bit helpless too."

Lin Sui placed it on the table, "This live sales stream today really hasn't been vetted beforehand. Everything is shipped directly from the factory; whatever I open is what I sell. I don't know if it's good or not, suckers come right up!"

"Post the link!"

There aren't many of these, just ten.

Perhaps because it's expensive, fearing they wouldn't sell.

But Lin Sui didn't expect that they would be snatched up by people in less than ten seconds after she posted them.

There are still plenty of rich people!

Among them was even a level-one account.

Lin Sui immediately said: "That level-one little brother, what are you doing!"

He even bought two!

LV1 Yun Li: "Hehehe, big sister, minors aren't allowed to tip, but minors can shop online."

LV1 Yun Li: "I'm buying one for my dad too, so he stops taking his anger out on me."

Lin Sui asked seriously: "Are you sure your dad knows?"

LV1 Yun Li: "I bought it with my own money, it has nothing to do with him. He'll only be happier knowing I bought a gift for him."

Lin Sui: "..."

Looking at this little thing beside her, and the handful of small beads it had shot at her face, Lin Sui felt that the dad might not be able to be happy.

"Alright, alright, thank you all for your support, brothers and sisters!" Lin Sui clapped her hands, not dwelling on whether Yun Li should buy it or not; a tycoon's son, he's not short of this bit of money!

"With you all here, I won't have to worry about selling my next items!"

"Unbox the next one!"

She took out another delivery box and glanced at the words on it.

"Stinky Flower, can absorb the foul odors in a room, but it needs to be taken outside to be released every seven days, otherwise it will smell again."

Lin Sui: "..."

No, are the things the system is giving her this time actually legitimate?

How come they look more absurd than the last?

System: 【They are all slow-moving products from our side; I'm here to see if they are popular on your side.】

Lin Sui: "..."

LV41 Chi Zhong Xun Yu: "Is this one expensive? Hurry up and take it out to see!"

System: 【This one isn't very intelligent, it sells for 66.】

Lin Sui tore open the box and took out the item inside.

"... What is the difference between this and a regular Coquettish Flower?" Lin Sui complained.

This is just an electric plush toy holding a saxophone that twists and turns when you press the switch!

She found the switch and pressed it; sure enough, that flower with the cheeky look started twisting while playing the saxophone.

But after a few seconds, Lin Sui frowned and twitched her nose, smelling a strange odor coming from the saxophone's sound outlet on the plush toy.

"Blech~"

She immediately turned it off, clutching her chest and leaning against the table, dry-heaving.

It's so stinky!

【I already told you it needs to be released. It's recommended to put it outdoors to air out before bringing it back into the room.】

"..."

Lin Sui felt like she was about to vomit her bile out.

It was a smell she had never smelled before, as if a thousand-year-old corpse had exploded out of a septic tank, with the scent of fermented stinky salted fish still lingering in its body; it was suffocating.

Fortunately, this bit of odor was quickly sucked back in by the Stinky Flower, and Lin Sui was reborn.

Her face was flushed red, and she slumped on the table as if exhausted, waving her hands at everyone, "Brothers and sisters, I wasn't acting, it's not an exaggeration at all... buy it and put it outdoors to air out first, otherwise it's super stinky when you press the switch, ugh~"

"But it really does absorb odors quite well; my room is much better now."

"This thing sells for 66... cheaper than an eyebrow pencil. I wouldn't dare say that if you can't afford it, it's because you aren't working hard enough; this thing really does require some rational thought."

"But I think it should be comparable to an air purifier."

"Let's put up the link."

She rubbed her nose and put up a link for two hundred units.

There was no hunger marketing; the system had just prepared two hundred units.

This price wasn't too expensive; after all, Lin Sui said it was comparable to an air purifier, and an air purifier costs much more than this.

Likewise, the link was snatched up in less than ten seconds after it went live.

Lin Sui set it aside next to the alien and took out the next box.

After the system's explanation, these things were all slow-moving stock from its side, so Lin Sui wouldn't feel surprised by anything she saw anymore.

Instead, she was a bit curious about which higher-dimensional space the system came from.

The goods brought this time were all items that looked inexplicable but were very practical.

Including that little alien figurine; it's very convenient to have it drill a hole or clear out a sewer, and it can even chat with you when you're bored.

The system was still just testing the waters, so it hadn't prepared much stock for these novel items, and Lin Sui sold out very quickly.

Whether it was because of Lin Sui's unboxing-style introduction or the peculiar nature of these items, there were people willing to buy them to see for themselves.

…

After the goods here were sold out, Lin Sui snuck over to check on Suyu.

Suyu was introducing them quite heatedly because they were selling so well.

He had never done product promotion before and thought he might crash and burn this time, but he didn't expect so many viewers who came by reputation to just start placing orders like crazy without him needing to introduce anything.

The reputation from Lin Sui's trial sales had already spread; those who found them useful would naturally make repeat purchases, and those who hadn't managed to buy them before came to snatch some up now that there was more stock.

These items weren't as bizarre as those in Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room; they were all practical models, so there would only be more people buying them.

Lin Sui was very gratified.

In the future, the goods provided by the system could be handed directly to the Live Streamers under the Company.

Living a life of lying down and counting money—it couldn't be better!

…

When the Live Streaming ended at night, Suyu was still in a state of excitement.

He had sold out all the items!

All of them!

"Your sales performance is passable," A Fu, who had been sitting on the sofa without saying a word, said calmly.

"Huh?" Suyu was stunned for a moment.

A Fu: "I'll observe your normal Live Streaming again tomorrow."

He stood up, "Let's go, let's go find Lin Sui."

Suyu: "Huh? Weren't you just hiding here secretly watching her Live Streaming?"

How did it sound like he was observing him?

A Fu: "..." He was not hiding and watching secretly!

Just then, Lin Sui also came out of the office; seeing the two of them, she clapped her hands, "Off work!"

"I performed very well today!" Suyu had an expression begging for praise.

Lin Sui gave him a thumbs up, "Fantastic! You have already become the number one product promoter of this Company; surpassing Li Jia Ba is just around the corner!"

"Let's go, I'll send you home."

She walked toward the door first.

A Fu glanced at Suyu, "Where is your home?"

Suyu quickly gave an address.

A Fu: "I'm going the same way as you, I'll send you."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Lin Sui stopped, "Really?"

A Fu kept a straight face, "Yes."

"Then I won't go out; it's freezing outside."

"You aren't going home?" Suyu asked.

Lin Sui's eyes were firm, "From now on, the Company is my home! I will live and die with the Company!"

A Fu: "..."

Suyu: "..."

Under their speechless gazes, Lin Sui patted Suyu on the shoulder, "Take the matter of recruiting your former brothers seriously; our Company has too few people right now."

"I know! I'll contact them when I get back." Suyu nodded.

Tonight's events greatly increased Suyu's confidence.

Lin Sui let him promote products; although she didn't give him any slot fees, she gave him a commission.

With commissions, the more you sell, the more you get.

In the past, such good things never fell to him, and their guild had never even taken on product promotion advertisements.

This stuff is truly profitable.

He knew Lin Sui had also been selling products just now and could have taken them all to sell herself, but she still shared the resources with him.

What a conscientious boss!

He would follow Lin Sui for the rest of his life!

…

Perhaps having calculated the time she would get off work, A Fu's driver was already waiting outside.

Lin Sui saw the two of them to the main gate.

She pondered in her heart that this place was still too remote, and the daily round-trip transport costs would add up to quite a bit over a month.

Was this perhaps the reason she had been unable to recruit anyone?

Should she go and charter a bus?

And then write "exclusive shuttle service" in the recruitment ads?

…

In the evening, Lin Sui processed all of tonight's orders, processing them until her head felt huge.

"I don't think this task should be left to me."

In the warehouse, Lin Sui sprawled on the floor, attempting to converse with the System.

【You haven't recruited anyone yet.】

"It has nothing to do with whether I've recruited anyone or not. Generally speaking, when I help a merchant sell goods, the person who packs and ships them is the merchant. And you, my old System, you are the merchant."

System: 【……】

"It's a matter of a wave of your hand and these would be finished, so why do you need me, a salesperson, to do it one by one here? That's not right, is it?"

"Oh my..." Lin Sui thought of something and exclaimed in surprise, "You don't even have these functions, do you? That makes sense..."

System: 【I do! I can even manage the Company for you clearly and logically, why wouldn't I be able to pack goods?】

Lin Sui stood up from the floor in a flash and patted the dust off her backside, "Then I'll leave it to you; tomorrow I'll call the courier to come and pick up the goods."

System: 【……】 Damn it, it was a provocation!

ˉ

Early the next morning, Lin Sui drove out, first going to the Quan Wang Guan she hadn't visited in a long time to box for a while.

Then she went to the talent market for a stroll, posted a few recruitment ads for her Company, and at noon called a courier truck to return to the Company with her, hauling away all the goods packed in the warehouse.

Standing before the empty warehouse, Lin Sui looked toward the horizon with melancholy, unable to feel even a shred of the joy of being a boss.

The reason was that these chores still required her to do them personally.

When would some capable talent finally come along?

…

Distributing flyers was still useful; that afternoon, several people came to apply.

After all, if needed, room and board could be provided, and if not, there was an exclusive shuttle service for commuting; the benefits were excellent.

These offline recruits were technical staff for the Company, cleaning ladies, cafeteria cooks, and the like.

Lin Sui hired them all, but gave them a one-week probationary period.

Some started work immediately to familiarize themselves, while others would come in a few days.

A Fu arrived at the Company in the afternoon and was startled to see so many strangers.

He hurriedly took a hat and mask from the car and put them both on.

He went straight to Lin Sui's office.

"Are these people all hired today?"

Lin Sui was sprawled on her chair playing on her phone; hearing his words, she only slightly lifted her eyelids, "Ah, the Company is so big, yet the people were sparse, it was lonely. Now there's much more vitality."

A Fu took a deep breath.

That was true; a company couldn't just have a few people. It was just that he didn't want to have contact with many people and was slightly unaccustomed to it.

Knock, knock, knock—

"Mentor, are you in?"

Just then, a knocking sound rang out at the door, and a man's voice came from outside.

Lin Sui immediately got up to open the door, "Yo! Xiao Sen is here!"

At the door was a fair and chubby boy who smiled with a simple and honest expression.

"Hehe, Mentor is just as good-looking as in the Live Streaming Room."

Flattery will get you everywhere.

"Even if you say that, the indentured contract still has to be signed."

Lin Sui smiled like an old fox and handed him a contract.

Xiao Sen rubbed his head, a bit hesitant, "Is my image really okay?"

He hadn't been headhunted by Lin Sui; he had taken the initiative to come after Lin Sui finished her Live Streaming last night.

He had been secretly watching Lin Sui's Live Streaming for the past few days and seeing her constantly promoting her Company, he thought about whether he should come and try, but was afraid Lin Sui would look down on him.

After all, whether it was Lin Sui herself, or Shen Ti and Suyu whom she had signed, their looks were all on the high-end side.

He, whose looks didn't make the cut and whose dancing was rated as "piglet dancing," felt he couldn't sign with such a looks-based Company.

But Lin Sui said the Company didn't prioritize looks, but character and ability.

He did know how to dance, which should count as an ability, right?

"You don't need to worry." It was clear he was very conflicted and dissatisfied with his own image.

Lin Sui pushed A Fu from the side forward, "This is our Company's top-tier operator, A Fu; he will definitely package you perfectly."

"Right, Fu?"

A Fu: "……Mm."

Xiao Sen stared at him for a while, then suddenly asked: "Brother A Fu, can I interview you with a question?"

A Fu vaguely sensed something ominous and said expressionlessly: "A kind word warms three winters; a malicious word chills six months of summer."

Xiao Sen: "I don't mean to be hurtful, I just want to ask why someone as rich as you would come here to be a workhorse?"

A Fu: "... I'm not rich."

If that isn't considered hurtful, then what is!

If you don't have a job, you're called unreliable; if you do have a job, you're called a workhorse!

You men have said it all!
